A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

"Lilith, do you want some ice cream?" Seth noticed that Lilith's eyes were looking at Pons Ice Cream Shop from time to time.

Lilith was embarrassed by Seth's question, but she couldn't help taking another look and nodded shyly.

Seth laughed, and he reached out and pinched Lilith's face with his index finger and thumb: "What's going on? Has she become gentle? She wasn't like this before?" Seth saw that Lilith's expression was unfamiliar, and he deliberately joked.

"Humph! Where is that?!" Lilith sat on Seth's arm and pulled Seth's silver-gray hair that reached his shoulders, "Let's go, Seth. Lilith wants to eat."

Seth saw that Lilith was becoming rude to him like before. With a smile in her eyes, she carried Lilith into Pons Ice Cream Shop.

This Pons ice cream shop has two areas, half indoors and half garden.

Walking into the wrought iron gate, an attendant came forward: "Master, Miss, good afternoon. Are you two? Do you prefer the garden or the hall?"

Seth lowered his head and asked Lilith: "Where do you want to sit?"

"Well, let's go to the garden." Lilith thought for a while and said.

Seth nodded and then looked at the attendant: "Garden."

The attendant then arranged for Seth and Lilith to sit down at an empty table in the garden.

It is said to be a garden, but due to the characteristics of the desert, green plants are very expensive. Therefore, there are many flowers and plants carved from various stones in this garden.

In Rila City, many mid-to-high-end shops usually use stone-carved flowers and plants instead of real green plants for decoration. It has two major advantages: beautiful appearance and few gold coins.

The stone carvings, flowers and plants, are not as heavy as they sound literally.

On the contrary, they are flowers and plants carved out of transparent stones of various colors.

It often has a unique light and fragile beauty.

Under the blazing sun above the head, it is extremely dreamy.

Seth placed Lilith behind the gray-blue stone chair that was shaped like an ice cube, and he also sat aside.

He was placing three small imitation ice cubes randomly scattered on the table into the depression of the goose-yellow ice cube-shaped table.

The orc at the next table recognized Seth through the transparent stone carvings.

"Master Seth!" The orc was obviously very excited.

Seth's hand froze. Lilith followed the sound first, and reminded Seth with a childish little voice: "Seth, that orc seems to be calling you."

Seeing Lilith looking at her, the orc waved vigorously at Lilith.

After hearing this, Seth turned around and saw that it was a strange orc. He nodded briefly and turned back.

The orc seemed even more excited after receiving Seth's reply, and excitedly shouted something to the orcs at his table.

None of this can be heard from Lilith's side.

Because Seth turned around and put three imitation small ice cubes into the depressions on the table.

Their table was wrapped in a film shaped like a large ice cube, blocking nearby sounds.

"Seth, it seems... he has become a very powerful person!" Lilith put her little hands on the ice chair, swaying her legs, lowering her head and sighing with a chuckle.

Seth looked at Lilith and remembered the strange orc who called him just now.

With a sudden smile, he half-crouched in front of Lilith's ice chair, raised his eyes slightly and looked at Lilith: "But I am still Seth."

Lilith's dark blue eyes looked straight back at Seth's bloody eyes diagonally in front of her.

After a while, her eyes turned into small crescents with a smile.

Lilith's hands moved forward, holding Seth's face at an angle, and nodded heavily: "Yes! Seth is Seth."

Lilith and Seth looked at each other, smiling with similar curves at the corners of their mouths.

When the nearby orcs accidentally glanced at this corner, they couldn't help but have soft eyes.

Deep purple, light purple, tender pink flowers, green, grass green flowers and leaves, green plants, scattered high and low, the little male beast squatted down and gently looked up at the little female beast on the ice chair.

This is like a fairy tale in the crystal dreamy garden.

Not only the air, but also time seems to be light and airy.

If the ice cream hadn't melted, the approaching waiter wouldn't have interrupted them by lighting up three small ice cubes.

Lilith saw dark purple cracks appearing on the transparent goose-yellow ice cube table with her peripheral vision. She turned her head and saw that the attendant had brought ice cream and small cakes.

Lilith's smile widened.

But why did the orc at the next table stand next to the attendant? Lilith was a little strange.

Seth, who was looking at Lilith with slightly raised eyes, naturally saw the smile on Lilith's side face.

He stood up and put his big hands on the top of Lilith's head.

Pressed the three stacked small ice cubes.

The ice-shaped film that originally wrapped Seth and Lilith opened a hole, just big enough for an orc to enter.

After the attendant came in, the orc at the next table seemed to want to follow the attendant in.

Seth's eyes rejected him silently.

The orc at the next table scratched his head, smiled dryly at Seth, and then sat back at his table, causing a burst of laughter from his companions.

On the other side, the waiter who entered the film put the ice cream in place with a smile, adjusted the position of the two-layer cake and went out.

Seth pressed it again, and the opened membrane returned to its original shape.

Lilith couldn't wait to open the stone cup, but found that it was not the ice cream she ordered...

It was the wasabi ice cream that Seth ordered. Lilith closed it and pushed the small stone cup in front of Seth.

Seth opened it and smiled: "Lilith, why don't you try a little?"

Lilith thought that what she ordered would be served later, and shook her head: "I'd better wait, I can't eat too much."

Seth helped Lilith put a small piece of cake on a small plate in front of her before starting to eat the ice cream.

Lilith was eating the small cake on the plate, and for some reason her eyes always looked towards the small stone cup that Seth held the ice cream in.

The light pink Hesu flower ice cream seemed to dye Seth's light lips a touch of pretty color.

Lilith swallowed saliva in her throat.

For no other reason than that Seth's ice cream looks really delicious.

Lilith's direct gaze made Seth feel a little uncomfortable.

Then, he lowered his head and smiled, scooped up a spoonful of ice cream in the stone cup, and put it to Lilith's lips: "Try it?"

Lilith looked at the remaining light pink ice cream on Seth's lips and couldn't help but swallow again.

"Then I'll just take a bite." Lilith shook her little head and emphasized, "I'll just take a bite! Anyway, my share will be here soon."

The tenderness in Seth's bloody eyes almost flowed out. He smiled and nodded: "Okay. Come!"

"Ah——!" Lilith took the small spoon of ice cream and the ice cream into her mouth in one gulp.

Lilith smacked her lips, yes, this is a bit bland compared to Suhua ice cream.

But when she raised her eyes, she saw the traces of light pink ice cream on Seth's lips.

After savoring it carefully for a while, the Hesu flower ice cream had already melted in my mouth.

Lilith immediately smiled again, and Su Huawei?

It seems pretty good.

"Do you want more?" Seth scooped another spoonful of ice cream to Lilith's lips, "Try another bite, you ate it very quickly just now."

Lilith opened her mouth with an "Ah" and said seriously: "It's true, I ate a little fast just now. I didn't even taste it..."

Seeing that Lilith was not rejecting her, Seth knew better.

Watch Lilith finish a spoonful, then feed Lilith another spoonful.

The reasons are also varied.

Before Lilith's ice cream was served, Lilith had almost wiped out the Hesu flower ice cream in Seth's little stone cup.

When the fig and mint ice cream ordered by Lilith was served, Lilith only took two bites and didn't want to eat anymore.

Lilith touched her bulging belly with regret.

Seth smiled and took Lilith's unfinished double ice cream.

Lilith was sitting on the ice chair, stroking her somewhat stretched belly and looking around.

Unexpectedly, they found that their table seemed to be the only one left in the entire garden.

After looking at the transparent stone-carved flowers and plants under the direct sunlight for a long time, Lilith's eyes became a little blurry.

Gradually, how come there were only two or three deep purple flowers, turned into five or seven? …

Lilith's little face was pale, "Hiss!" Why does her stomach hurt so much? Drops of cold sweat slipped from Lilith's forehead.

"Lilith?" Seth's bloody eyes widened, and veins seemed to bulge near his eye sockets.

"Hmm? Seth...s...called me?" Lilith turned to Seth's direction with difficulty.

Seth reached out and planned to take Lilith into his arms first.

But Lilith's body couldn't hold on at first, and she fell back weakly.

Seth was so frightened that he threw his upper body towards Lilith.

Lilith's eyes slowly closed.

At the last second, she seemed to see red spar... earrings?

So lovely…

"Lilith!" Seth hugged Lilith before the back of her head hit the ground.

Seth anxiously stood up with Lilith in his arms, channeling martial energy around his feet.

Just as he took a step forward, Seth's knees suddenly touched the ground!

Lilith in his arms was almost thrown out.

In an emergency! Seth transformed his teeth into beasts.

Two fangs, biting down.

tick tock... tick tock...

His mouth was full of blood, dripping down.

The pain allowed Seth to regain some strength, and he looked down at Lilith's condition. He panicked: "Lilith...Lilith!..."

Seth's voice was like a roaring beast in the dark night.

He kept trying to guide the martial energy in his body out of his body, but failed repeatedly.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Seth kept looking down to check Lilith's condition, and then looked up to see if any orcs were passing by nearby.

He kept looking up and down.

The blazing sun above his head was so dazzling that it seemed to melt the pale Lilith in his arms into the natural light.

No! Seth would never allow that!

His bloody eyes were so intense that they would bleed at the next moment.

Crystal clear stone-carved flowers and plants stood quietly around them.

Lilith's face and forehead were already dripping with Seth's blood.

Seth controlled his trembling hands and wiped the blood off Lilith's face.

But I can't wipe it all off.

He didn't realize that it was his fangs that caused the blood to flow drop by drop from the beginning to the blood dripping now.

Repeated attempts to guide martial energy failed, and his throat felt itchy.

"flutter--"

Blood spurted from Seth's throat.

He hurriedly covered Lilith's face with his hands to prevent his blood from staining Lilith.

It's useless...Lilith's light golden curls, the companion stone on her forehead, her cheeks, her lips...

There was blood all over it.

Seth looked desperate.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the fragile Lilith in his arms.

He humbly prayed to the beast god and exchanged his life for Lilith!

A halo of oaths lit up and went out repeatedly.

Just like the flame of hope in his heart, it was extinguished as soon as it was ignited.

Seth raised his head to look at the scorching sun high in the sky, his eyes darkened as he replayed the clip in his mind...

The scene of entering the city yesterday seemed to be before my eyes.

Was he... the one who harmed Lilith? …

Blood welled up in Seth's throat again.

This time, Seth finally couldn't help but fainted and fell to the ground...

Sunlight doesn't understand the emotions of orcs. It passes through the various transparent stone-carved flowers and plants in the garden.

It is like painting at will, reflecting various colors of light on the ground, pink, green, orange...

The unconscious Seth and Lilith, who was firmly protected in his arms, were both its canvas at the moment.

It also allows a hint of green flowing from the companion stone on Lilith's forehead to naturally blend into its brushstrokes.

"Crack!"

Kunta didn't have time to deal with the broken cup and looked at his second husband, Senasha: "What did you say?...Sanasha?"

With a serious look on his face, Senasha pulled his wife Kunta and ran downstairs: "It's too late, Kunta. Let's talk as we walk."

Kunta listened to the words of his second husband Sennasha all the way, as if he was in a dream.

At noon, Seth picked up Lilith from home.

Why...it’s only the afternoon?

Something happened to two little orcs...

Sit on the camel and antelope car.

"We will go directly to the central temple now." Senasa told Quinta where Seth and Lilith were.

Sennasha held Kunta's hand opposite him: "I heard that Lilith's situation is more serious because she is young." He took a deep breath and said, "Kinta, we must calm down now."

Kunta gently retracted his hand with a confused expression: "What's going on? Sanatha...why? What happened?"

Kunta forced himself to calmly look at the second husband Senasha opposite.

"Kunta..." Senasa faced Kunta's eyes and spoke after a long while: "...Maybe...some of the orcs from the city lord's palace took action."

"The City Lord's Mansion?..." Kunta bit the tip of his thumb and turned his eyes left and right, thinking in his mind.

Suddenly, Kunta raised his head and looked at his second husband, Senasha: "Is it...because of Seth?"

"Well..." Sanasha bit his lower lip until it turned white, "This is the most likely possibility now."

"Where did the news come from?" Kunta's face turned pale. She approached Sinasha and asked in a low voice.

"The news passed to me by an old person in the City Lord's Mansion, saying that Seth and Lilith were attacked and unconscious, has been spread throughout the City Lord's Mansion..." Sanatha's voice did not change.

"Published... all over the place?" Quinta repeated.

Senasha nodded and said solemnly: "Yes."

"Haha." Kunta sarcastically said, "It's because Seth's return this time is too big. Are there any orcs who can't sit still?"

Suddenly, the panic and anger in Kunta's heart seemed to have found an outlet: "Before, in their eyes, Seth was just a favored and talented little son. What? Now I can see Seth's strength clearly and know how to be afraid. Did you bring back a flame beast and make them panic? Are you worried that Seth will be supported by the orcs outside the city lord's palace? Haha."

Senasha looked hesitant, but he still said the uncertain message he had received: "It seems to be more than that. But I don't know the details."

"Whatever the reason? Lilith and Seth are now in critical condition. But the news that they were attacked and comatose spread throughout the city lord's palace so quickly!" Kunta slapped the seat heavily, "It's clear, a group of people will take action. , and another group followed to take advantage. Right?"

Senasha sighed, he actually had the same speculation in his mind.

There must be at least two groups of orcs involved in this matter.
